Dr. Homi J. Bhabha
Founding Director of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai
“The key to national prosperity, apart from the spirit of the people, lies in the modern age, in the effective combination of three factors, technology, raw materials and capital, of which the first is perhaps the most important, since the creation and adoption of new scientific techniques can, in fact, make up for a deficiency in natural resources, and reduce the demands on capital. But technology can only grow out of the study of science and its applications.”
-Opening statement of the GOI’s Scientific Policy Resolution, 1958, of which he was one of the principal architects.
Addressing the urgent challenges of climate change, energy, and the environment requires the innovative use of chemistry. The proposed Conference on Advances in Chemistry for Energy and Environment (CACEE-2024) aims to bring together diverse branches of chemistry, materials science, spectroscopy, and computational studies to further advance this dynamic field of research. Our conference aims to foster discussions and innovative solutions by exploring the current fundamental understanding of chemistry to address energy and environmental challenges. Additionally, we will focus on enhancing light-matter interactions, designing and synthesizing novel materials, and employing in-situ techniques to study chemical processes.
The inaugural CACEE-2018 conference was held at TIFR, Mumbai, from January 10-12, 2018, attracting 250 participants and 45 distinguished speakers from around the world. CACEE-2020 was hosted virtually by TIFR, Hyderabad, due to the Covid pandemic. The third conference, CACEE-2022, took place from October 31 to November 4, 2022 at TIFR, Mumbai, in collaboration with the "CO2India Network 1st Annual Meet," gathering 300 researchers and featuring 54 speakers across 19 sessions.
The video summary of CACEE-2022
Looking forward to CACEE-2024 during 16-20 December 2024 at TIFR, Mumbai, our goal is to bring together researchers from various domains of chemistry. We aim to gather experts in novel material design, synthesis, and advancing mechanistic understanding through theory and spectroscopy. This conference will facilitate fundamental and technological advancements, and serve as a platform for exchanging ideas and fostering collaborations. The conference program will feature plenary, keynote, and invited talks by renowned researchers from around the world, along with oral and poster presentations by students and postdoctoral researchers.
CACEE-2024 will follow a format similar to the ACS annual meetings, which includes covering your own registration fees and arranging your own travel and accommodation in Mumbai.

Venue
The conference will be held on the premises of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai. TIFR is one of the oldest and most prestigious research institution in India. The city of Mumbai is the best-connected port and hence the easiest travel destination/hub in India, which channelizes multitudes of tourists and scientific personnel that visit India. Moreover, December is the best season to visit Mumbai.
Reaching TIFR
If you are coming from airport: TIFR is at the southern end of Mumbai. It is about 25 km from the domestic airport and 30 km from the international airport. Prepaid taxis are available from the airports. One can also use cabs like Meru, Tab, etc. Their booths are inside the terminal. Ola & Uber also available via app booking. On the way from the airport to TIFR, one can take the sea-link between Bandra and Worli to avoid some traffic. For directions to TIFR, ask for Navy Nagar, Colaba, and TIFR is at the of the end road after the bus stop terminus in Navy Nagar.If you are coming from train station: Two railway stations, CSMT (Victoria Terminus, VT) or Church Gate is about 5 km away. Take a taxi from there (no autos are allowed in this area) and ask driver for Navy Nagar, Colaba, and TIFR is at the end of the road after the bus stop terminus in Navy Nagar.
